Great tour. Good way to try many different foods. Make sure to be hungry. Our tour guide Anna was very informative and gave us recommendations beyond the tour.
Lovely experience, I didn't want the tour to end! Giancarlo made the tour very interesting and fun - with all the tidbits of facts and jokes! Would surely recommend!
Sylvia did a wonderful job of introducing us to local foods. She also provided us with a lot of history. The food was wonderful and we finished with our bellies full!
Super fun, great food and great guide! Giancarlo was fantastic and gave us history of the nation, the food and the neighborhood- you won’t get this on your own!
Highly recommend- and perfect for your first day in Rome! Giancarlo was our guide and he was lovely. He did an excellent job of feeding us delicious food while telling us some history about the city. It made us feel welcome on our first day and was good exposure to different food spots.
Excellent, guide Dan was very friendly and informative. We learnt so much about Rome you would never have got the level of info without him.
Absolutely wonderful!!! Pizza, artichoke, spices, panini, Suppli and gelato- plus amazing g stories of the history, food and people. Highly recommend if you love flavor and history!
Fantastic tour from a very experienced guide with delicious food and historical tidbits about Rome thrown in as we ate our way through town.
This tour and guide John Carlo were the highlight of my Italy trip! John Carlo is such a cool guy!! He shared his wealth of knowledge about food/life in Rome and Italy! He truly went above and beyond to make our tour exceptional. Thank you John Carlo!! Oh yeah, the stops and food were great too! 😋
Antonella was a great tour guide, not only showing us great places to eat but also showing us hidden spots of the city and telling us some history along the way.
We had an amazing tour with our tour guide Silvia. My daughters and I loved getting the history facts along the journey, and of course the main highlight - the food! Silvia was knowledgeable and also took note of my daughters’ names and made connections with them as well. The food highlights for us were definitely the panino and the gelato. Would recommend!
Great tour…many hidden gems and yummy food items! Our guide kept the tour moving at a nice pace. Would highly recommend.
Sylvia was so wonderful! She showed interest in each of us. She also kept us informed about non-food topics on the way to each destination. I highly recommend this tour!
Silvia was a fantastic guide, so knowledgeable and friendly. The food was delicious and plentiful, so don’t eat before the tour! It was so lovely to walk around quieter neighbourhoods with great company. Would highly recommend.
What a great tour! Daniel was exceptional, he was fun and knowledgeable. Small group setting met some great people. Hi guys ! Tour is a must.
THIS is the tour you want! Do not hesitate! Book this experience!! We had Daniele as our guide, and he truly was the best guide we've ever experienced! Daniele is part historian, part actor, part archeologist and 100% people oriented. He took care of everyone in the group as if they were beloved family. His delivery is quick and with humor and packed with interesting facts about the area. The tour was in English and Daniele is easy to understand as he has only a light accent. We ate like royalty (arrive hungry!) and learned that we definitely wish we had more time and tours with Daniele (he promises all of the guides are HILI wonderful) because he made the experience so easy, yet meaningful. I know there are other more expensive tours available in Rome, but why bother. This food tour hit every mark.
Essential Roma experience if you like food and want a unique perspective. The tour guide, Alex, is passionate about her city, country and its food. All the food was delicious however it is Alex’s infectious enthusiasm that made this tour so memorable.
Daniel (I hope I spelled your name right!) was an AMAZING host. Very knowledgeable, energetic, funny, and a great guy! We had a marvelous time. The pizza was delicious, the suppli I could kill for someday, gelato fantastic, but my favorite food was the fried artichoke! Delicioso!! Thank you so much Daniel! The history was amazing as well. I admit I shed a couple tears in the Jewish district. Daniel is the greatest tour guide of all time. I know you want to live in Rome forever, but someday, may you also live in Power! Potenza Calico!!
absolutely fantastic tour. giancarlo was extremely knowledgeable about the areas history and so friendly. the places he took us to eat were some of the best snacks i have had
We made 5 stops for food on the tour. Leonardo gave much information about the food as well as the history of Rome. It was very enjoyable.
We had an amazing time on our food tour with Emilia! She was incredible - so fun, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience feel effortless. She gave us so many great food and sightseeing recommendations for the rest of our trip. A must do tour for anyone visiting Rome!
Great way to see small areas of Rome. Our guide GianCarlo was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic telling us about the history and explaining our tasting . All tastings were delicious my favourites were Artichokes and Basil and lemon ice cream. It was a very hot day and he recognised that some of us struggled and was always caring in finding a seat etc for us to rest for a few minutes. He related well with young and older a must for all to try.
Emilia did a great job walking us to get local flavors and then gave us more than 40 food recommendations!
Always good to do a street food tour and our guide Flame was excellent. Highly recommend her........
This was one of the best things we did. Great way to see the city with good food and company. The guide was absolutely outstanding.
What an Amazing evening of food tasting and local history. We began with filling up our water bottles like locals. Then off for several short walks and stops at five different food location. Each location offered a different tasting and they were perfect and delicious,. Special thanks to our amazing food tour guide, Antonella for the wonderful tour last night. The history we learned was so interesting. Antonella is a lovely person. We loved the time we spent chatting with her. If you ever do a food tour in Rome, I sure hope she is your guide. Grazie, Antonella.
We had the unique pleasure of booking a street food of Rome walking tour and our amazing guide, Giancarlo, not only shared with us some delicious suppli, porchetta, pizza, pecorino romano, and gelato, but also history and cultural lessons that were as flavorful. Giancarlo was attentive to not just sharing great food and good tips on restaurants but teaching us valuable and interesting Italian history that made it clear the tour was about far more than just food. Highly recommend!
Flame (short for Fiammetta) took us on such a fun tour around Rome. She was sure to cover all the bases and our family of four (including two teen boys) had a blast learning about the history and traditions. We were so full by the end, but it was absolutely worth it!
This was a fantastic tour and Silvia was great. Very knowledgeable about Rome’s history and the food choices were amazing. We are wishing Silvia a very happy birthday this Tuesday. Looking forward to our next visit
It was the perfect way to finish a 5 day trip in Rome, and hopefully they will be blessed with the same guide we had Sylvia
This was such a great experience. Dan was our tour guide, and gave us so much information on the different neighborhoods around Rome. The food was amazing. Don’t hesitate to book this tour! Grazie, Dan!
This tour was recommended by a friend and I am so happy we did it! Daniela was amazing and made the tour so fun. He shared a lot of great facts, and again just made the r tour so fun! If you’re in Rome, so this tour and hope you get Daniela!
Sylvia Piazzolla was a fantastic host. She combined local history and food to make an enjoyable and tasty experience. She was very pleasant and even helped us secure a taxi for a ride back to the hotel.
This was a fun experience and my family enjoyed it. it was neat to learn Rome's history while walking and getting food too. Drinks included (wine if you desire), which was very welcome on a hot evening. Other reviews said the portions are super generous. We didn't find it to be too much. We definitely had to eat more after the tour. We had suppli, porchetta sandwich, pizza, fried artichoke, and gelato. Everything was delicious (the second pizza was VERY spicy!), but our favorite was the fried artichoke, as that's something that we really didn't expect. Our guide, Simona, was very nice and funny too. She was a great guide and you could tell she was proud to tell the stories of her hometown. Recommend this, though definitely not for small children or picky eaters.
Emilia was wonderful telling us history along the way of some great tastings. We had pizza, gelato, artichoke blossoms and a special sandwich.
Great start to our stay in Rome, learning about the local food and area. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and everyone was so friendly at each of the stops!
Alessandra was our tour guide and she might have been the best tour guide we have ever had and we have done many excursions and tours over the years. Wow! Knowledge of Rome and Italy were fantastic, but also just how she made teenagers also feel on the tour was best in class. There are not enough nice things to say about this tour and the food was perfect to try many different items.
Alisandra was our guide. We found her very friendly and super fun. She is very passionate about food and Rome. Length of time was perfect. Experiencing the street food as locals do and knowing where to get the good authentic street food was awesome. É Bona!
Giovanni was our guide and he was AMAZING!!!! I would recommend this tour to anyone. It was more than amazing food it was a dive into culture and history! Simply fabulous.
What a fantastic experience. Myself, husband, sister and our 3 year old son were taken on this tour by Giancarlo and what an experience. We have had food tours in Italy before but this was by far the best. The food was amazing, the stops were educational but what made this tour stand out was the customer service. Giancarlo was not put off having a 3 year old on the tour and was his best friend by the time we had our Gelato! It wasn’t all about our son either, I told Giancarlo that I had just completed a history and classics degree and he went out of his way to make sure I got my fill off history as well as food. Thank you all so much for a wonderful experience and for allowing this history loving foodie to experience the best of both worlds! Grazie Mille, from Sharon, Graeme, Kirsty and Arran!
Anna was a very friendly and informative guide. The food was delicious and filling. My son and I enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it.
The portions were full size and everything was delicious!! We also got a history tour along with the food! Our tour guide was so kind and genuinely connected with our group!
We just finished a food tour in Rome with Lily, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Lily was absolutely fantastic friendly, informative, engaging, and full of positive energy. From the moment we met her, she made us feel welcome and helped us experience Rome like a local. One of my favorite parts of the tour was visiting the Jewish Ghetto and trying authentic fried artichokes. Along the way, we enjoyed a succulent pork sandwich, pizza prepared three different ways, delicious supplì, organic gelato, and wonderful wine. Every stop offered something unique, and Lily did an excellent job explaining the history, culture, and traditions behind the food. What truly made the experience special was Lily herself. She has a warm, beautiful personality and a genuine passion for sharing Rome with her guests. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and sense of humor made every part of the tour enjoyable and memorable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rome, and if you’re lucky enough to have Lily as your guide, you’re in for a wonderful experience. Thank you, Lily, for an unforgettable evening filled with amazing food, great conversation, and lasting memories! Much Love! Yolanda D.
Delightful food & guide. Giancarlo was very about passionate about his heritage and Italian food. He shared many facts about the history of Italy and how it related to local food. Was very tasty & lots of fun!
You not only get to taste some good food you also get a very informative tidbits of local history of the areas the guide is leading you through. Our guide Giancarlo was excellent.
John Paul was a wonderful guide. We got so much more than a good tour. Loved 4 of the 5 foods. Excellent value for price.
This was such a fun tour - one of the highlights of our trip! Simone was a fun, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable guide that made the great tour even better!
We had a fantastic food tour with GianCarlo! Best thing we did on our first day in time! The food stops and tastings were perfectly scouted and selected. Don’t let the word “tastings” fool you; as they are not bites - they are full tasty portions! Glad we planned this as our dinner! And it came with history lessons and info about the areas we walked thru! Highly recommend this tour!
Such an amazing experience!!! Fiametta was an incredible guide! Her love for the culture, the food and the people was evident in everything she did. She took time to get to know all of us and worked hard to specialize our experiences. She went above and beyond and this experience was one of my most favorite while in Rome!!! Could not recommend more!!!
